Well, those have been sold... some guy in the WalMart parking lot... for cash ... he didn't speak English. The others? Stolen. No, I didn't report it nor did I make an insurance claim. Do I have to?
Funny, I sold mine to a similar guy in the Home Depot parking lot. I asked him for a voter ID card to prove he was a citizen and not a felon, but unfortunately he didn't have one. He looked honest though.
I am not plotting any war with the govt, but if i did I have the RIGHT. That is why there is the 2nd. period.
If for example a president should declare himself/herself supreme dictator, 'We the People' would have every Right to take back the form of Govt we had before.
Having a right to guns means we don't need to request permission which you don't do for Rights.
I have never asked for permission to buy a gun and i never will.
I did suffer infringement asking permission to carry a gun for self defense. If that cost should increase or the law change I will just stop requesting and paying the fee.
Us gun nits as you put it value Freedom more than the land and we tend to value out rights more than you sheep.. That's too bad.
One day you sheep will have traded your liberty for cheap security, well i guess you already have, and are at the point of finding out the Govt won't give you either.
Make bigger Gun Free Zone signs and see how that works
Make me a criminal over a illegal gun registry, and you may find out how that works too.
Gun nuts and their tough talk. Lol. If the government requires gun registration and you don't register your guns you are violating the law. This means you are not a law abiding citizen.
If the authorities find out, then you'll face the legal consequences. If you resist violently then lord help you.

All I can say to this is ooooh, I'm so afwaid of not being a "law abiding citizen" just like most of those in government today.
On a serious note, where registration is required, has it made any difference with the criminals that are carrying? Do they register theirs? Does it stop them from doing anything?
I don't see the upside to registration at the street level, please enlighten me as to what the benefit is?
On further thought, as for the statement "if you resist violently then lord help you" I ask you this, do you have any idea the storm that would be created should situations like that come to pass? All it would take to light a fuse that I don't know could be tamped out is for a couple of those "lord help you" situations as you describe it to hit the news.
This is not "gun nut bravado" or "tough talk", this is knowing that there are a lot of people out there with short fuses who've been saying for years and preparing for something like that to happen. Maybe they'd be considered "nuts" by some but since I don't know them personally I can't say but I do know they're out there.
They could be right, only time will tell.
As a gun owner, I would personally never "register" my firearms with the federal government.. I am curious though, if it were law that you had to register your firearms with the government, would you??
I don't understand this at all.
Responsible gun owners are always demanding that a distinction be made between themselves ("law-abiding citizens") and those who would use guns to commit crimes ("criminals"). Gun registration is one way of doing that. Someone who owns a gun for hunting, shooting, self-defense, or whatever, can make clear they own firearms for legitimate purposed by registering them. Why is that so unreasonable?

where in the 2nd Amendment does it say anything about registering your arms?
I am also in favor of NO laws being made against the 2nd Amendment. get rid of all 20,000+ state laws and 5000+ federal laws concerning firearms.
So, then, when the Constitution was drafted and the Bill of Rights added, it was decided that you could own a tank or a howitzer?
Over the years there have been many things that were legal, then redefined by laws. Marijuana, cocaine, heroin, marriage to 12-year-olds, dynamite, brass knuckles, switchblade knives, whiskey, "assault weapons with high-cap mags", mail-order rifles and ammunition, etcetera and so on.
What we need is a legal definition of "arms". That is why the Constitution was drawn with ambiguity built in - so that there can be tests in court as new situations arise.
My neighbor has a tank..
Though he calls it a Ford Excursion.
